Summary

Researchers test whether a short prehabilitation program before rotator cuff repair helps people over 50 recover better. The program includes two 60-minute sessions one week before surgery, covering postoperative stages, pain management, sling use, daily activity strategies, and movement restrictions. The trial measures shoulder function and pain over time to see if this approach is worth studying further.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
prehabilitation, a short program of education and practice sessions before shoulder surgery
What this could lead to
If it works, pre-surgery coaching could become a routine, low-cost step that helps older adults regain shoulder function and confidence sooner after rotator cuff repair.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot with 30 people, so it may not show a clear benefit or may not apply to everyone. Prehabilitation is low risk, but results could be limited by the short two-session format.
